Out of the Closet, Out of a Job: Following Discrimination, Lesbian Pursues Life of LGBTQ+ Activism.

When Angie Harden worked at a recreational athletic facility throughout high school and college, she grew particularly close to her boss - to the extent that the woman became a mother figure to her. This all changed, however, when Angie came out her junior year of college. Not only did her boss’s tone turn cold and detached, a stunned Angie was also told explicitly that there was no space to bring her back on staff that summer. When Angie found out that her boss had caught wind that she was gay and that this was the reason she was fired, her sadness and shock turned to anger.

Angie soon called HR to report this discrimination and even threatened a lawsuit. Before long, she got a call from her boss who disingenuously apologized and offered her job back. Having no interest in working with this woman ever again, Angie rejected this offer,worked and thrived in other areas of the facility, and then chose a path of service and activism to the LGBTQIA+ community to help ensure that what happened to her doesn’t happen to others.
